<< Layer 3 switch? Oh... you mean _router_. Gee. Does Cisco have any of those? ;-) >> << Aren't switches a fraction of the cost but several times faster? A router by any other name...>> Cisco has had the Route Switch Module (RSM) inside the Catalyst switch for some time now. Basically there is a router module inside of a switch. When a traffic flow is detected, the first packet goes through the router, and then all subsequent traffic from the same source/dest pair is then switched.
